On the whole, I love my customers. My job’s not perfect, but the customers, with some exceptions, are great. One of them even became one of my best friends as we bonded over one of our favorite sci-fi franchises!
One young lady came in with a purse bedecked with pins of (among other things) Shakespeare and his Globe theatre. Being a theatre kid with hopes of directing, I had to compliment her accessorizing. Turns out that her dream role and my dream project involve the same musical!
I recently had a customer with a very thick Scottish brogue, so I did what I always do whenever I get a customer from the UK or Ireland: recommend a shop a couple of blocks from me that specializes in British goods! (I’m addicted to Jelly Babies.)
To all the awesome customers out there, keep on rocking! To the not so great ones, there’s always hope.
